It’s a quote you see all over the Internet. But when you’re about to invest in something new how do you know if what you’re buying is any good?

Many think spending more money means better quality but that’s not always the case. Determining whether a piece is going to go the distance isn’t always an easy task. But if you want a high-quality wardrobe you need high-quality clothes, so I’m going to show you 10 checks you can use to guarantee kick-ass quality.

I got a lovely email from one of my clients after reading my latest style note. Here’s what she wrote:

“Brilliant asusual! Just a thought .. how do I know what my style is in terms of my personality?”

It’s a huge question! It’s so key because once you know the answer, it makes throwing together outfits that you LOVE effortless! It makes shopping so much easier and less time-sapping. The great thing is with a little bit of work you can easily find yours.

You may have a wardrobe full of clothes you absolutely love but still find yourself stood in front of it left a little bit wanting. That outfit that makes you feel amazing or like you can conquer the world still eludes you. So what gives?

Are you the sort of person who feels like you kind of know what style you’d absolutely love, but time and time again you end up buying clothes that will just do for ‘now’?

Maybe you feel as though you’ve nailed getting the fit right, but everything else about your overall look is a bit ‘meh’. Perhaps you have a default uniform you automatically go to, but it just doesn’t excite you or fill you with joy. Worst still, you may even see others wearing the exact same outfit and feel they look amazing in it? What is the hell up with that?

This is the final post in my series on colour where I’ll be wrapping up everything I covered in my previous posts and explaining how you can use that new found knowledge and apply it to your wardrobe. If you’ve not read any of the previous posts in this series then I’d definitely recommend going back and checking them out; part one, part two, part three. They lay the foundation needed to add more colour to your wardrobe.
